No, but you can slow it down with fire breaks and keeping the surrounding areas clear of dead brush, alert a local FD and let them handle the rest of the job. NEVER try to contain a muck fire alone. The cause of them is lightning storms, the lightning will strike the ground and cause the fire, but it strikes in a marsh type area, thus it being a muck fire, the muck underground is flammable, and it smolders. That's what causes the smoke in the air. Muck fires are DANGEROUS!
A possible solution for a muck fire could be rain.
they are put out by taking a hose and pouring water on them they are put out by taking a hose and pouring water on them
Yes.
then
Muck fires are fires that burn underground. They are started (usually in late winter/early spring in Florida) when buried decomposing vegetation spontaneously combusts or is ignited by lightning strikes. This happens during the dry season as the vegetation begins to dry out. Because heat is not transferred well in these conditions, areas that are still moist will produce heat from the process of decomposition. The heat accumulates to the point where it can ignite dryer material adjacent to the area of decomposition. These fires can burn for weeks, and are extremely hard to extinguish. Most of the time they don't cause any problems, but occasionally the work their way to the surface, and can ignite material above the ground. But the majority of them just smolder under ground, and create a horrible odor that lasts for weeks.

No - you wouldn't want to put out an oil fire out with water, it would spread. There are also checmicals that are used to deprive the fire of air. Powders (Like your household extinguisher) fires can also be smothered with blankets etc. Explosives are used to put out very large fires like oil well fires.
no. In some situations nitrogen is used to put out fires.
No they can't be put out
No, muck fires can start anywhere there is muck. That's why they're called MUCK fires, not Florida fires.
muck fires last for weeks and weeks

lightning causes muck fires :)
Muck fires are difficult to fight. Often the only way to stop a muck fire is to contain it.

Yes, muck fires can become very dangerous. The fires can burn underground which will make trees unstable. The fires can also burn for weeks.

Muck fires are so intense that they even burn the dirt. They stay lit until they hit water.
Muck fires start when lightning hits the soil and burns for weeks unless water comes in and puts it out.
